    No…that still ruins the country

    The best thing to do would be an amendment that removes immunity

      He could use it to fix the court and then have the court abolish the ruling.

      If Trump wins the election, he’s going to do what he wants regardless of the Court’s ruling. Let’s stop pretending that “Even when it accomplishes nothing, following the rules to the bitter end is the noble thing to do.” Why the fuck does the Captain need to go down with his ship?

        And then the next Republican President does the same thing

        If your goal is no Republican President ever again then you don’t need to worry about the ruling anyway

      So first kill Trump, then kill some of the SC judges, so that they won’t oppose you when you move to make the president bound to uphold the law.
